The Big Shot’s Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy - Chapter 493
Chapter 493: Chapter 436: Is it… Over Between Us?
In the evening, Charlotte Lane sent everyone home and stayed at the hospital with Olivia Lane.
Sophie Ortiz and Aunt Cruz wanted to stay as well, but Charlotte asked them to leave.
So Andrew Lane and his group took Gael Easton back to the Lane Family home.
Kevin Clark stayed behind with Charlotte.
He accompanied the Old Master in another ward, while Charlotte stayed with Olivia.
When everyone had left, Charlotte intended to clean Olivia’s face and let her sleep, but Kevin suddenly called her from outside the ward.
Once she went out, she found not only Kevin but also Hugo Clark.
“Auntie.”
Charlotte glanced at him and then looked at Kevin.
Kevin laughed, “Want to chat with Grandfather for a while?”
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then looked at Hugo, “She needs to rest early.”
“Alright,” Hugo said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Charlotte followed Kevin to the ward next door.
As soon as Hugo entered the ward, Charlotte looked back.
Kevin said, “Hugo… he’s a pretty good guy.”
Charlotte looked at him outside the Old Master’s ward, “Of course, you think he’s good because he’s your blood nephew.”
“Olivia is not young; she can make her own decisions.” Kevin said, acting like he didn’t care about Hugo, but deep down he did, as they were family.
“If she likes him, I won’t object.” Charlotte said softly.
Kevin laughed and didn’t say anything.
If Hugo could really win Olivia’s heart…
Then the Lane Family… might become allergic to the “Clark” surname in the future.
“He’s only two years older than you, how come I don’t have much impression of him?” Charlotte asked.
“Hugo spent more time at his grandma’s when he was young.” Kevin laughed, “I guess you have an especially deep impression of me instead.”
Charlotte looked up at him, and after a moment, raised her eyebrows, “Just so-so.”
“Is it just so-so?” Kevin asked with a smile in his eyes, “When you were little, you often called me Brother Arthur and asked me to hold you. Why did you become so distant when you grew up?”
“Distant?” Charlotte looked at him, her eyes filled with flirtatious overtones, “I not only let you hold me…”
Kevin’s eyes, full of laughter, suddenly stilled, and he lightly inhaled.
Charlotte smiled, “Still want to hear it?”
“What?” Kevin’s voice was a little husky.
“Calling you like when I was little.”
Kevin’s pupils trembled slightly, was such a good thing about to happen?
Third Master Clark could hardly believe it but couldn’t suppress the anticipation in his heart.
Charlotte grasped his collar, and Kevin, without any resistance, obediently leaned down.
Charlotte leaned into his ear and gently bit it.
Kevin involuntarily swallowed.
Then he heard Charlotte whisper softly, “Third Uncle.”
Kevin’s little excited heart suddenly seemed to lose its color, slowing down a beat.
He could even feel the desire in the corners of his eyes fading slightly.
After Charlotte finished calling him, she released Kevin and briefly laughed. Then she opened the door behind her and entered Old Master Lane’s ward.
Kevin had failed to stop her and could only look at the door that hadn’t been closed tightly.
He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath.
He was wrong.
The little girl hadn’t lost any traces of her past self.
This sly, mischievous nature… that hadn’t changed one bit since she was young.
During the time Olivia and Old Master Lane were hospitalized, their family members took turns staying overnight with them.
Aunt Cruz and the housekeeper were usually with them during the day.
Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane would visit whenever they had the time.
As William Lane had suffered injuries, Andrew Lane had begun taking charge of the Lane Family once more.
Moreover, he completely reorganized the family affairs, including taking back shares from the relatives.
He fully adhered to Charlotte Lane’s approach.
Everything regarding Oscar Turner was also taken care of completely.
The Clark Family didn’t get involved; Harton Clark dealt with it. Following Charlotte’s instructions, Luke caused him to disappear within two days.
This major upheaval made everyone in the Imperial Capital aware that something had happened to the Lane Family.
However, it was all resolved internally.
In fact, Andrew Lane’s family emerged victorious, which resulted in the current reorganization.
During this time, Charlotte Lane did not return to the family residence. She spent most of her time at the Research Institute and occasionally went to visit Olivia in the evening.
She would also take the opportunity to meet her parents at the hospital.
A week later, William Lane was transferred from ICU to a regular ward, and both Olivia and Old Master Lane were discharged from the hospital.
Finally, the Lane family had some downtime.
However, William Lane still hadn’t woken up.
His vital signs had been stable the entire time, but he never regained consciousness.
Medical teams were consulted one after another, but none could confirm whether or not he would wake up.
So, in the end, the best anyone could do was keep him company and talk to him whenever they had time, hoping that it might have some effect.
“Sis, when are you coming home?” Olivia asked.
Charlotte Lane had brought Olivia lunch she bought during her lunch break at the hospital.
Olivia had spent most of her days at the hospital during these times.
“I will finish up at the Research Institute in about three days,” Charlotte answered.
Due to William Lane’s injury, the Research Institute suddenly lost one of its main forces, causing work to get slightly busier.
“Alright, then will you be staying at home?” Olivia inquired.
“Home is too far from the Research Institute,” Charlotte replied as she opened the food and checked the equipment beside William.
“Maybe you could stay the night occasionally,” Olivia suggested as she sat at the dinner table, “That’s what my elder brother used to do.”
“Ok,” Charlotte agreed, then sat at William’s bedside and turned to look at Olivia, “The results are out.”
“Yeah,” Olivia replied with a smile, “749 points.”
Charlotte raised her eyebrows and clinked her water glass with Olivia’s, “Congratulations, Little Top Scholar.”
Olivia smiled: “149 in Language; I think I lost one point in the composition.”
“That’s great.”
“Oh gosh, Skyler Thomas was so excited that he cried while calling me,” Olivia said, “It made me feel embarrassed to be so calm.”
“So?”
“So, I recited a 500-word speech of gratitude on the spot,” Olivia explained, “I thanked heaven and earth, our country, my parents, siblings, classmates, teachers, and even an anthill under the second tree to the left on the school playground.”
Charlotte laughed: “What happened to the anthill?”
“I thanked it for giving me entertainment by counting the ants.”
Charlotte’s laughter caused her shoulders to shake.
On the hospital bed, William Lane’s fingers twitched slightly.
However, since Charlotte and Olivia were too engrossed in conversation, neither noticed the movement.
“All the students in 16th Class performed really well,” Olivia continued after laughing, “Marsh Turner’s extraordinary performance placed him in fifth place for the whole city.”
“That’s great.”
